Alicia - You are, I assume, and adult, and therefore could reasonably have been aware that European institutions do not have to recognise DMCA. Sadly, a DMCA take-down notice may well be complied with in the UK, but most of the rest of Europe is made of sterner stuff, (and isn't stuck half-way up the USA's 'ass' as the UK unfortunately is) and recognises European laws, which are, on the whole sensible and based on the notion of innocence until proven guilty. We also don't allow the patenting of computer software, or indeed, ideas. I suggest, that rather than bemoaning the lack of recogniton of DMCA in Europe that you avail yourself of the European legal system if you want justice... Yes, it's difficult, but then so is it for us Europeans if we want to gain justice in America we have to use the US legal system and courts, so no difference.
It may well be a little mean of Vanish to not let you delete your posts on his blog, but there's the slight catch, it's HIS blog, and any contribution you make to it becomes his posession, if not his legal property. I'm sure all the rights issues are laid out in the ToC of Wordpress, so you did have an opportunity to check these out before you posted anything.
